UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 states that multidisciplinary universities and colleges, with flexible combinations of subjects, should increasingly become the norm in higher education instead of segmented, single-discipline institutions.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because NEP criticises narrow single-discipline institutions and rigid subject walls as features of the old system.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it describes the vision of large multidisciplinary HEIs where students can combine arts, sciences, social sciences and vocational areas.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since the policy does not say that only distance-education institutions should dominate; it emphasises diverse, high-quality physical and blended campuses.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because NEP wants vocational and general education to be integrated within multidisciplinary institutions, not to have only vocational trades with no broader learning.
